Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness

Oxford University Press released the 2nd edition of Quantum Enigma in July 2011.

We are now starting to update the Quantum Enigma website for the 2nd edition. Along with other updating, we will update our chapter-by-chapter extensions of the material to allow for deeper exploration (and to facilitate the book’s use in teaching).

About Quantum Enigma

Quantum mechanics reveals a mystery at the boundary of physics: that observation strangely influences what is observed. Quantum Enigma focuses on this increasingly discussed skeleton in physics’ closet, its encounter with consciousness.

Quantum Enigma’s treatment is understandable without prior physics background. An American Journal of Physics review says: “…Rosenblum and Kuttner manage to convey much of the exquisite subtlety of quantum mechanics without ever resorting to an equation. Their treatment of two-slit interference ranks right up there with (but differs interestingly from) Feynman’s famous “comes in lumps” approach, and their nontechnical description of Bell’s theorem is one of the best I’ve seen, and by far the least mathematical.”
